NHTSA Complaint #10979009 — 2008 DODGE RAM 2500

THE 08 DODGE RAM WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD CAUGHT FIRE CAUSING THE DODGE TO LOOSE ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELTY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANK GOODNESS AND GET ALL ITS PASSENGERS OUT. THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP NOR WOULD THE ENGINE START AFTERWARDS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED,. BOTH OTHER TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WE PAID $1000 TO REPLACE THE FUSE BOX. IT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY YEAR. HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE FUSE BOX APART AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT CAUGHT FIRE. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK OF OTHERS REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO THE NEWS WHICH MAY BE OUR PROBLEM.
